Atsusugiru

Atsusugiru is a Japanese term that translates to "too hot" or "excessively hot." It is commonly used to describe the weather when temperatures become uncomfortably high. The word is a combination of "atsui" (hot) and "sugiru" (to exceed, to be too much).

When someone says "atsusugiru," they are indicating that the heat is oppressive and potentially uncomfortable or even dangerous. This can refer to both the ambient air temperature and the feeling of heat experienced by a person. The term is often used during summer months in Japan, which can experience periods of intense heat and humidity.

Beyond weather, "atsusugiru" can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or topic that is too intense, overwhelming, or sensitive to handle. For example, a discussion that becomes too heated or an emotional experience that is too much to bear might be described as "atsusugiru." However, its primary and most common usage relates to extreme heat.
